Eva Herzigova and Claudia Schiffer were on the Icons list today. They're new right? I don't know who was taken off the list though. I think Amber Valetta, but not sure of the other one.

 

[ckgirlbr]

Oh I believe they did.

 

[Simera]

Amber and Karolina are both off. I forgot about KK, never knew why she was there to start with so that's why lol

 

[ckgirlbr]

Oh yeah I forgot about KK. It's weird, because she was number 5...

 

[ThiagoMello]

Amber is not out. The Icons list have 20 models now Smart thing to do I think, some models are mentioned twice though. But I'm sure it will be fixed soon

 

[ckgirlbr]

Oh, that's better, 'cause there are more than 15 iconic models

I also noticed Bruna Tenório is out of the main list

 

[Simera]

Ah I see they have a link on the main Icon page to 20 - 16 (?)
Frankie really? I like her, but would have never guessed! lol
And Erin Wasson? No offense but she is kinda of dull, and again would have never guessed her either.

 

[ckgirlbr]

Yeah, Frankie was the biggest surprise for me. And so Malgosia... I like Erin!

 

[Simera]

The Icon list if officially updated now.
And instead of Frankie they added Guinevere van Seenus who I think is a much better addition! Though I still don't get Erin

 

[FRANCY ITALY]

even if i am a fan of erin i don't see her in a list like that, too..

 

[Simera]

I would have assumed Cindy Crawford would be on such a list. I don't like her, but she is one of the celebrity supermodels. Though it's probably because she doesn't model any more.

 

[ckgirlbr]

Thanks for the informations! I think they will change the list more times! And about KK?

 

[ckgirlbr]

Yeah Cindy was one of the biggest supermodels, I'm not a fan of her either, but I guess she deserves to be there.

^But cindy hardly does anything fashion-wise. ALmost no eds. no campaign and no big beautycontracts, and those are the criteria for the icons list I beieve.

Yes, Mikel is right, it's really a "Working" Icons list who do the high end advertising, etc.. Otherwise we would have models like Veruschka, Penelope, Cindy, Lauren Hutton, etc.. All historic and iconic models.

As for Erin, for this day and age, she's really taken herself to the next level in becoming more of a household name with working with Alexander Wang, her jewelry line as well as the William Rast with Justin Timberlake.. Not everyone agrees, but that's how we see it.

Best,

[ckgirlbr]

Thanks for the explanation Betty!

 

[Simera]

And Erin has s how coming up on MTV too doesn't she? I read something like that on FMD.

 

[CharlottefromCA]

I agree, as much as I dislike Erin, she has sort of reached another level, she isn't playing with the Sashas and the Vladas of the fashion world anymore

 

[Simera]

Sigrid Agren is now on the list at 49.
Ymre moved up to 35.
Katrin Thormann is on the list at 41.
